Attached is a list of the books I read in
1994. Sometimes I add markers like (*) to indicate books I
particularly like. I also try to keep track of how many books of
a particular kind (novel, etc.) and from a given country and
century (Eng. 19th, etc.), I read each year. For the complete
list of my reading since 1958, see
